current versions. If you copy styles from the current version to legacy
drawing, you have to save the legacy drawing under a new name and in
the current release file format.
â– Open and save a legacy drawing in the current version if you want to be
able to edit it in DesignCenter
®
.
IMPORTANT Any time you combine a drawing from a previous version with a
drawing from the current version, you should first open the previous version
drawing and save it. For example, before inserting a drawing as a block or attaching
it as an xref, open the drawing and save it to promote all the objects to the current
version.
Saving a Drawing to a Previous Release File Format
When you save a drawing to a previous release file format, not all objects and
properties will be supported. You can do one of the following:
â– Save the drawing to the current release format: All objects and properties
will be saved correctly, but the drawing may become incompatible with
earlier releases.
â– Save the drawing as AutoCAD-only objects. For more information, see
Exporting a Drawing to AutoCAD on page 214.
To view AutoCAD objects in a previous release, verify that the latest Object
Enabler is installed, as available on http://www.autodesk.com\enablers.
â– Save the drawing to a previous version with Proxy Graphics. If you open
the drawing in the previous version, you can view AEC objects as Proxy
Graphics, but cannot edit them. For more information, see Generating
Proxy Graphics on page 213.
Setting Up a Drawing
When you create a drawing from a template, the drawing setup options are
predefined. You can use these settings or customize them as needed. For
example, you may want to use different drawing scales for different drawings.
When you create a drawing without a template, settings such as layer standards
and layer key styles are imported into the drawing. For more information, see
Creating a Drawing Without a Template on page 189.
